Marion Barry wants to have an apology, <br />For the term he was garnered by a videotape by feds, <br />Barry had also spent time in jail for the reason he lit up, <br />A music critic, Tim Page, <br />For The Washington Post, <br />saw his office e-mail release, <br />But then spoke the truth about Barry, <br />This was enough for this Pulitzer Prize winning sage. <br />Apparently everyone in the Belt Way has to know about Barry’s success, <br />Even though the point of political duress, <br /> <br />For you say a political smoking crack and hanging around hookers, <br />If you are white, (Euro-American) -so what’s the big deal? <br />If black, (Afro-American) you are prejudiced beyond prejudice standards. <br />In essence Marion hasn’t learned, about why, <br />This claim to fame has not eluded him, <br />Because Marion when are a politician, <br />- you are always in the public eye. <br />Marion has called for an official apology from the newspaper <br />And for the firing of Page, <br />Marion did not consider a liable suit because he has not, <br />Marion will be voted a congressman again and again, <br />But in the politically correct world for a split second Tim Page forgot. <br /> <br />(11-14-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-it-walks-acts-cracks-like-duck/
